Corps - Le Système Respiratoire

each of the two organs in the chest that helps one breathe

poumon

(anatomy) the hollow organ in the throat that contains the vocal cords and provides an air passage to the lungs

larynx

(anatomy) the membranous tube in the body that carries air from the throat to the bronchi

trachée

the passage with ringed cartilages in the respiratory system that carries air from the throat to the lungs

trachée

(anatomy) the muscular body partition that separates the chest and abdomen

diaphragme

(anatomy) the muscular body partition that separates the chest and abdomen

ventre

a flap-like structure that prevents food and liquids from entering the windpipe during swallowing

épiglotte

a small airway in the respiratory system that leads from the bronchi to the alveoli in the lungs

bronchiole

a major airway in the respiratory system that branches off from the trachea and leads to the lungsea

bronche

a thin membrane that lines the lungs and the inner surface of the chest cavity, providing a protective covering

pleure, plèvre

the fluid-filled region between the visceral and parietal layers of the pleura that facilitates lung movement

espace pleural, cavité pleurale

a prominent, shield-shaped structure in the neck that protects the larynx and aids in sound production

cartilage thyroïdien, cartilage thyroidien

a ring-shaped structure in the neck that supports the trachea and aids in the regulation of airflow during breathing

cartilage cricoïde, cricoïde

thin muscular bands in the larynx that vibrate to produce sound during speech and singing

cordes vocales, plis vocaux

elastic bands of tissue located within the larynx that vibrate to produce sound during speech and singing

cordes vocales

the point in the trachea, or windpipe, where it divides into two smaller branches called the left and right main bronchi, which then lead to the respective lungs, facilitating the flow of air during breathing

bifurcation trachéale, division trachéale

small, air-filled sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the air and bloodstream during respiration

alvéoles

a pair of mucous membrane folds in the larynx that help protect the airway and assist in sound modulation

pli vestibulaire, plis vestibulaires

a small airway in the lungs that connects respiratory bronchioles to alveolar sacs, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli

canal alvéolaire, conduit alvéolaire

a passage in the respiratory system that carries air from the trachea into the lungs

tube bronchique, bronche
